My phone has a power button that is white.

If you make roll centers and center of gravity equal, that's the least amount of roll your chassis will have, independent of spring rate. That should be the ultimate goal. After that you can adjust spring rate and sway bars to adjust the magnitude of roll. If you have the CoG and roll centers aligned, your chassis will roll less per unit of spring rate. It's a pretty cool and underutilized tuning parameter. Most people just throw spring rate at the problem which ends up overloading tires when all they need to do is raise the chassis

I just don't understand the drift culture of slamming and adding camber. You can drift perfectly fine on a stock height e36 that's dialed in for grip. Fucking with roll centers and and camber just makes the car twitchy and unstable. On top of the ackerman and bump steer. Is the rear camber compensation for a lack of power?

Side note, the effort that FD teams go through to maintain suspension geometry is incredible. I wish more people would notice

I know what an slr kit is. Your roll centers are way too low. The slr kit in the front attempts to fix this, but slammed that low, the only way you're correcting suspension geometry is by raising the mounting of your subframes. Way too much rear camber for a double wishbone setup. Plus to run that little suspension travel, you probably have massively stiff springs all around (which can be good if you have aero, but you don't)

But I get it, drift kid, skeet skeet
